Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the revival of Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp character in America, tracing his decline in popularity due to media criticism to his eventual return for accolades in the 1970s. It examines various American cultural groups, including 8mm film collectors and Beat poets, to argue that the Little Tramp persona never truly faded but instead experienced a resurgence beginning before 1950, culminating in a significant recognition in 1972 when Chaplin received an Oscar for his contributions to film.
